365.308 Ohne Titel (something appropriately spooky)

I made an HDR version of this, tweaked it heavily in Photoshop, and titled it “HDRifying,” but this one looked better to me: everything lines up better and more graphically.

I tweaked this a bunch, but ended up going with a rather simple cocktail: reduce saturation by 30% or so and pump vibrancy to bring the color back, plus some increased contrast and whatnot.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t come up with a decent title. “HDRifying” is witty and silly and just right. But this isn’t HDRified, didn’t even see the inside of Photoshop, and only got maybe 4 minutes of slider play, so it needs something else.

Anyways, I like the way the light bounces around the courtyard in the afternoon. I actually went out to shoot some spooky shadows on a neighbor’s window. The picture turned out ok, but I couldn’t get it processed properly, and ended up liking this one better.
